[young umbra]

It all depends on how you are. I would schedule out my days and plan time wasting. So I would actually block off time to do whatever I feel like.
Even though you waste time, you're still be somewhat productive

If you feel like you're close to burnout, then definitely take a break. Because once over that hurdle, it's very hard to return to normalcy

[spare ember]

hi what time does james usually start?

[still edge]

an hour ago i think? maybe hes taking another break, or the tech is playing up 🤷‍♂️

[pine vapor]

maybe he just forgot about us 😭

[high salmon]

ayt, thanks @young umbra

[autumn eagle]

Plz don't take break

[high salmon]

probably won't

[nocturne mural]

is anyone here from medical school

[high salmon]

#medic-help

[idle cipher]

Anyone from commerce stream?

[untold harbor]

For any Freshman college students, or current, what should I study for my College math placement?

^I have to take it by June 17, and have 3 tries to do so until I get the grade I want, fyi

[obsidian dome]

is international university of japan a good uni

🥺

[river tusk]

Just a suggestions that you guys should exercise regularly

[young umbra]

I know I should exercise

But I dont

[river tusk]

https://tenor.com/view/wackaflocka-gif-7684829

[quaint tulip]

i do : D

[young umbra]

A healthy brain is built on three pillars, sleep, nutrition and exercise

[river tusk]

Ofc

[young umbra]

I do none of those

[river tusk]

Shit😂

[young umbra]

I believe that three negatives make a positive

Negative-ception

[river tusk]

https://tenor.com/view/bitch-what-wtf-gavin-confused-gif-5834632

[quaint tulip]

i guess i lack two of those pillars

[young umbra]

It makes perfect sense

if two negatives is a positive, then three is super positive

DUH

[quaint tulip]

aight

[young umbra]

Which of those do you lack?

[quaint tulip]

sleep and nutrition

[young umbra]

Damn

Sleep is the hardest imo

For me, without it, everything else falls apart

Which is why I've been failing at life for about 5 years now

[quaint tulip]

indeed

[quaint tulip]

nah dude dont low your self esteem im sure you will do great in life

[young umbra]

Haha I'm half serious

[river tusk]

I have been a slacker for like a year or so, since the lock down was implemented. I was basically wasting my days and gained around 10kg. Now I have been working out for like a month and I feel better than ever, both mentally and physically.

[young umbra]

But my failings are my own fault

Idk
sometimes we know we're supposed to do things that are good for us
But we just don't do them

[young umbra]

That's great to hear!

It's weird how much better exercise makes you feel

[young umbra]

Congrats!

It's so weird that for most of us it's still so hard to do consistent

^

[quaint tulip]

if you think its important for you to catch up on your sleep you should try to cut out the distractions then

[young umbra]

I have pre-existing conditions fucking with my sleep

Which sucks, but it is what it is

[river tusk]

It also helped me with anxiety and a gives me pleasure due the sense of accomplishment I get after working out hard.

[quaint tulip]

then i guess try to relax and calm down your mind that might help you

[young umbra]

I sometimes do psychedelics... they help a lot for a short while (two weeks or so)

They make me more focused, generally in a better mood and they improve my sleep

[quaint tulip]

you can also try asmr for sleep it works for me

[river tusk]

I had sleeping disorders too, mainly cause of anxiety, trust me exercising helps a lot.

I may sound like an exercise-daily advocate, but I honestly feel like it helps

Just from personal experience

[young umbra]

When do you exercise btw?

[young umbra]

ASMR fucks with my head. It frustrates me to no end... I have severe ADHD, so for me those two don't mix

[young umbra]

Hahah yeah! It would help my ADHD as well. But my Chronic Pain prevents me from exercising consistently

It's frustrating as fuck

[quaint tulip]

exercise can be done anytime i believe even 10 minutes of daily exercise is worth it

[river tusk]

I don't exercise, I run for like 30 minutes daily at around 5-6pm. I can't do it morning, it's kinda the situation at my place.

[quaint tulip]

dang that seems like a struggle

[young umbra]

Ehhh. There's people with worse lives

I'm starting to lose weight, which is the first step

Once I get a little lighter, everything will get easier

[river tusk]

I wish you good health bro. You're a fighter!

[young umbra]

Thank you!

I love this community, it's so helpful

[safe verge]

is there a chat channel that helps with 'Research'?

[young umbra]

Depending on the type of help you need I would say either this one or tech related help

@safe verge Wassup?

[safe verge]

oh thanks! I'm writing a Review of Related Literature

I need insight on how I go writing it

[young umbra]

In general, the first step to any research process is to start doing desk research

Try to find as much information as you can online or in books

[safe verge]

well... this is highschool research

[young umbra]

How I do my research is to start by typing some keywords into google, then the sources I find will direct me to other sources or keywords I can use

You could start simply by searching "related literature"

[safe verge]

hmm... is it like you state the brief explanation of the study you found?

[young umbra]

Can you explain a bit your assignment?

Maybe your requirements are a lot simpler than I get at University

[safe verge]

yes... I guess it is

[young umbra]

I'm not a highschool student and we don't have it in my country, but google is your friend

[safe verge]

ahh... thanks entertaining my questions

[young umbra]

Sorry for not being of great help, but you're welcome!

[fair ibex]

Hobby related question...

[young umbra]

hello

anyone got any tips for english

im taking my igcse first lang english paper 2 tmr

[light aspen]

which class

[foggy wave]

can someone help me with my react project, i have only one more thing to do to be done

[reef falcon]

#art-help

[young umbra]

Try not to let them bother you too much unless they specifically try to bother you

If they do, set boundaries

[floral zephyr]

anyone an expert in classical music? i need help identifying a piece

aurally

[young umbra]

You sound like you can be a bit mean since you feel some people are below you, this can come across as obnoxious

And people don't like that

In the end, this is the internet and basically everyone is stupid

Ah, that's a touchy subject

[reef falcon]

you try having google search open and pressing the microphone button and do "search for a song"

[young umbra]

Most people find it too much of hassle to refer to people's preferred pronouns

I'm curious, what was the point you were trying to make?

[floral zephyr]

i tried that maybe my audio isnt clear enough

cuz i just recorded it off of my music theory practice test

[reef falcon]

try humming the tune yourself? :0 so that it might be more clear for the mic to pic up

[floral zephyr]

ill try

or play it on piano lel

[young umbra]

If you aren't uncomfortable, hum and send the audio

Maybe one of us regocnizes it

But you're not making a point here

In my humble opinion, if someone wants to be called by a specific pronoun then you should just do it. At most it's 5 seconds of work and it makes another person fee; more validated and appreciated

[young umbra]

Can you download the soundbit?

It's not that hard. Either a person will tell you, or you could ask

[reef falcon]

yea, that seems to be my opinion as well seeing your arguement against the other people's in general chat. some people will abuse the system and do it to be funny or annoying, but we can't regulate, police, and LGBTQ+gate everyone. like the people who actually want to be identified out of the identity/gender norms such as a deer or wolf. It's like having a free water stand outside somewhere - everyone has access to it but it's up to you whether to use it or not, and whether you actually drink the water or be an arse and waste it typa deal

[blissful flower]

Heyy where do I enter the code in forest app for a room

[young umbra]

Most people won't be offended first time, as long as you respect their correction

[reef falcon]

did I not reply to your comment in general? edit: ok I saw, myb, yea contact a mod for that probably (dm one of them)

[blissful flower]

thanks

[dreamy river]

Np!!

[blissful flower]

Was not helpful

[young umbra]

Only time will tell. There's no use stressing about it

[reef falcon]

most likely they'll stick to the system they have today ("other") unless a massively popular one comes out

[young umbra]

How is memorising a pronoun any different from remembering a name?

Everyone has their own name, so everyone can have their own pronoun

[grave zealot]

Everybody should just be fine by being called by a gender neutral pronoun. You are overly dramatic, by assuming there will be "1000" pronouns to remember

[modest dirge]

please be respectful of trans people and their pronouns! thank you

[grave zealot]

you are clearly making fun of it

[young umbra]

By joking about stuff like this, you're basically reducing something that is very important to people to a joke

It's like calling things that are bad to you gay... while there's nothing wrong with being gay

[grave zealot]

i will call you by a gender neutral pronoun

[young umbra]

But still you use it in a negative way

[grave zealot]

and thats it

[young umbra]

Yeah, this is the easiest and safest way to go

[reef falcon]

is it trois morceaux by charles valentin alkan?

[young umbra]

Now I get why you got your warning

[floral zephyr]

oh it is! :0 tysm

[young umbra]

Damn it sounds like this. Do you work for the FBI?

[grave zealot]

using a gender neutral doesn't take away from you chooing your pronoun without needing to address every individual case.

[young umbra]

That's your right

You can't please everyone, but using gender neutral pronouns is a general inoffensive catch all

[grave zealot]

I am not too big onto all the pronouns, but I am respectful. You are clearly arguing in bad faith with your examples and over generalisations

also that is a tiny minority of the LGTBQ+ community you are talking about, why are you so concerned?

[reef falcon]

rip

[grave zealot]

some people...

[modest dirge]

transphobia is not tolerated here. everyone should feel respected. if this happens again, let me know.

[young umbra]

I don't get why it's so intimidating/upsetting to make someone feel more welcome by using their preferred pronoun

[grave zealot]

agree!

[young umbra]

You're making an elephant out of a mosquito as we say in my country

[modest dirge]

i advise that you change the topic. someone’s basic human rights are not up for discussion

[young umbra]

I agree

Cheesecake has made you wise, Ron

[modest dirge]

thank you thank you ehehehe

[dreamy river]

Where are u from?

[young umbra]

The Netherlands

[dreamy river]

Oh that’s rlly cool I’m from Canada

[young umbra]

That's also really cool, eh (sorry couldn't resist :P)

[dreamy river]

Lmao it’s okay 😭😭

[young umbra]

Two great friends of mine are from Canada

[dreamy river]

Oh yeah from where?

Like province

[young umbra]

Toronto, both of them

[dreamy river]

No way I’m a 30 min drive from there

[young umbra]

Richard, are you spying on me?

[reef falcon]

yea, he honestly really was. super pushing and focusing on that single point

[young umbra]

Yup. But what's said is said, let's move on

No need to waste more time on this

[meager pine]

Should you eat during pomodoro breaks?

[slim wedge]

yes as the name suggests you should eat tomatos

having tomato blood in your vines will let you love the work you do

[reef falcon]

most definately. constantly snacking is very beneficial to most people, especially people who study and don't want to feel sleepy after eating a large meal

[young umbra]

So I've gone through the FAQ and I can't seem to find what he uses for the rain sound.... probably I'm just sleep deprived enough to not see it

But do any of you know what it is?

[viscid herald]

Hey gang my head feels like mushy peas

should i just drink more coffee

[young umbra]

What have you been doing today? What time is it for you? And how much sleep did you get?

Did you take breaks?

[viscid herald]

it's 9pm rn, i've had one exam and revision after

[young umbra]

Coffee is a crutch. What helps my is either take a quick cold shower or wash my face with cold wtater

[viscid herald]

maybe i did not take breaks hmm

okay thank you 🙂

[young umbra]

It's a more natural way of waking up and it doesn't give you a nasty crash

[viscid herald]

:))

yee yee i will :>

[young umbra]

Make sure you drink enough water, that also give energy

Does anyone have experience in Keysight ADS ? It's a simulating tool

[high salmon]

@young umbra I needed that break, tried revising and my minds going haywire

[young umbra]

Dang... well, now you know for next time!

Going to take a break now?

[high salmon]

Gonna sleep, and then get back to it tomorrow, i got a revision session with a teacher, so imma take it easy, its like 11:00 where i am so imma sleep

[young umbra]

I hope you get some good rest, good night!

Same time here, currently transcribing an interview I did earlier today for school

[high salmon]

oh, cool. Good night man, thanks

[mild pendant]

helpppp

I can't sleep

[young umbra]

Sleep is one of those activities that the more effort you put into it, the harder it is to reach your goal

Try to relax, maybe read a bit

Write down what's on your mind

For me it's always more important that I get rest, than to fall asleep. Because wanting to fall asleep has the exact opposite effect

Better to just accept the fact you might be awake all night.... so you might as well get comfy, ya know?

What helps is to wear sock in bed to lower your core temperature, this makes it easier to fall asleep

If all else fails, get out of bed and if you can out of your bedroom and do something else like reading. Once you feel tired again, go back to bed

Don't use a screen, though

[reef falcon]

What do you guys recommend for people that get mad dry eye from studying and staying up for a long time? I use Jolt and Cleareyes maximum redness relief but they're only temporary and I feel iffy about constantly using them. The warm towel over the eye seems to work but over the course of a few days, and you have to be lying down for a while as well as needing it to be applied for like 15m-ish and I always end up falling asleep LOL

[young umbra]

Do you drink enough water?

Do you wear lenses?

いいえ

[runic phoenix]

any tips on how to study the night before your tests?
it's 11:44 pm here .-.

[reef falcon]

If my eyes are really dry then I don't wear lenses, but generally I wear them during the day until around 4pm and then I swap out for glasses (they have blue light filter). As for the water, kinda? I drink strong coffee so it might cancel the water out?

[young umbra]

Yes. Get enough sleep

Your brain needs sleep to trasnfer it from your short term and working memory into your long term memory

[reef falcon]

just do it

[young umbra]

If you are of age, drink a beer or glass of wine before bed

[reef falcon]

go over what you know the least

[young umbra]

It helps your brain retain what you studied before

[reef falcon]

I thought that tip was for me for a second 💀 I was like how is alcohol gunna help retain water

[runic phoenix]

but i havent studied anything yet

reeeeeeeeeee

[young umbra]

Wear your glasses. You might just not be blinking enough, in combination with the lenses it can dry out your eyes

[young umbra]

It sounds weird, but alcohol inhibits your brain's capacity to store new information

Making it more likely for the stuff you studied before to stick

But don't drink more than a beer or two

[reef falcon]

chug 5 white claws, gotcha 👍

[young umbra]

Haha yeah

It's called the white claw clause

[reef falcon]

better start cramming asap, writing it down helps retain the information better, but if you don't have much time then maybe write the header and try to find vocab/definitions n stuff

[young umbra]

Yes

Focus on where you get most gains

And don't pull an all nighter, you'll just mess up yourself

Don't go to bed later than 7 hours before having to get up

Since that gives you at least an hour to fall asleep and about 6 hours of sleep

[reef falcon]

yea, I actually DO NOT suggest pulling an all nighter if you're cramming. sleeping helps you retain information, even just a nap will help.

[runic phoenix]

hmok thx guys

[young umbra]

Good luck!

[runic phoenix]

thanks man

[young umbra]

Yo I deal with the same shit, my eyes get hella dry if when I stare at a screen for long periods of time. So what I do is use a 30/5 pomodora setting, I get around the same level of work done and my eyes get that extra rest needed in that 5 minute period. Also take a 15 minute break every 4 pomodoras done. Hope that helps!

[reef falcon]

Yea, Just randomly studying and taking breaks fairly frequently for now. I really don't like using my phone's alarms or timer's cuz it's just so badly designed, as well as it silences itself after a minute (sometimes I'm so into studying I block out the timer). Purchased a kitchen timer and waiting for it to arrive, I'm a lot more excited for that than I should be haha

[balmy steppe]

Anyone take AP Lang and have any tips for someone who is having a mental breakdown because their exam is in less than two weeks?

[night gale]

I don't study AP Lang but i can relate ( i had to study Calc1 , Stats and probabilities , And Basic number theory ) in less than 3 weeks in order to graduate High school, I Had bad times coping with stress but kept going , I just wanted to pass so :

1. I started to wake up earlier than usual to make more study hours , i did around 6 to 7 h with breaks every 35 mins
2. i sat daily and weekly goals : for exemple : daily goals : Do 50 integrals || Weekly Try 2 previous Exams from past years (exams are national aka baccalaureate)
   3)i asked for help , when i got stuck on something for more than 15mins i'd write it on a note , and Come back later and try again if i can't get it i posted questions on random forums and called my professor
3. Keep Going , always remember that your current state won't last long it's a matter of time till you finally relieve
4. good luck

oh and I managed to complete everything before the deadline with 2 days i believe

[balmy steppe]

6-7 hours- bye yall

[balmy steppe]

also thank you, that was all very informative, i think i just need to dedicate more time to studying i guess and reaching out when i need it the most.

[night gale]

don't worry it's not about the volume of hours you're studying

it's about how much focus you put into the work

1h with no phone or distruction is better than 10hours with it

[modest dirge]

yo in #useful-links theres a link to a website i helped make called procrastinote. theyve got some ap lang resources i made ehehehe check them out. theyre mainly for rhetorical analysis but they may still help. good luck! you got this!! i believe in youu!!

[night gale]

can anyone suggest some good resources ?

[modest dirge]

hmm what do you mean? resources for what? ap lang or to contribute to procrastinote?

wow that was a lot of questions sorry 😆

[night gale]

i meant some websites like freecodecamp for CS majors
or educativ or front end masters or project euler etc

[young umbra]

hey guys, how is your study schedule like?

[modest dirge]

sure! send them in #tech-related-help . thanks!

[zinc cosmos]

anyone taking the DAT here

[modest moat]

dadadada..damn bro

[safe lintel]

where can i get study materials?

[reef falcon]

terrible. I usually give myself 2 hours in the morning to get some stuff from last night cleaned up, get ready, and get some breakfast.

[safe lintel]

get up at 3 AM run 2 miles workout till 5 write down as mush as i can for 2H with my left hand i need stuff to study besides writing. (right-handed)

then got to work

[iron pond]

its 6 pm here and i have a big history test tomorror. any tips on how to memorize faster?

[clever lichen]

which class

apush?

[safe lintel]

did you put it off till last minute?

recall don't memorize is my tip

[lusty monolith]

Guys, how can you focus for so long? I've gotten so distracted with online school, its so tempting to just lay on my bed and watch tiktoks. I'll work for like 20 minutes, then I get some feeling that I've gotten some progress, so I kinda just chill and get distracted on something else

[elder abyss]

^

[reef falcon]

20m is a good start, take a 5m break and try to up the study time to 25m

[lusty monolith]

Thats what I try to do, but these "breaks" often extend for more than 5 minutes

[reef falcon]

it's to each their own tbh. some people have an easier time studying/working on certain topics. I can't be at my desk for more than 20-30m at a time or else my neck will start getting strained

[obsidian kelp]

It's because your body craves those tiny dopamine hits. It impact everyone these days. You have to try to reduce the usage of your phone. Delete social media or restrict them throughout the day.

[lusty monolith]

I also feel like its due to the work Im doing. Right now Im trying to write this essay, but since its sort of creative writing, I cant always just come up with everything at the moment, so I kinda run out of ideas and get distracted

[obsidian kelp]

I used to have the same problem as you, many people probably do. But you really have to be frank with yourself and you'll slowly lessen the craving. It'll def. be difficult, like any bad habit, it is hard to break, but easy to make.

[safe lintel]

lock your phone you wan't to learn not memorize. test your self see where you fail and improve on what you don't know

[reef falcon]

try napping maybe?

[safe lintel]

20m nap is the max for that by the way or you'll feel sleepy

[tight sigil]

hello is anyone here proficient in engineering dynamics ?

i am trying to solve a kinetics problem with work energy methods

[tawdry sleet]

doing 20 mins work is enough, take a five min break after that. rather than using your phone itd be better if you found something else to do, like maybe something craft related or even just closing your eyes and laying your head on the desk for five minutes is fine. slowly build up a more stronger time table. increase your time limit from a 20 to a 30 and then to a 45 and slowly youll be able to do it 🙂

[young umbra]

wow that's quite a lot

why do you get up at 3 am?

and at what time do you go to bed

[reef falcon]

any advice on how to calm down body shaking from worrying and stress? *the stress is not study related but might help me either way

[balmy coral]

personally for me talking to a friend on the phone about my issues calms me down but it's not the most Ideal way to help yourself

i haven't really found a way to calm myself down without a second person :( but maybe if you have really close friends you could do that?

i hope you feel better :( it's a super shitty feeling

[reef falcon]

I've talked to my bf and vented but still not helpin the shakes/jitters

[dusky edge]

sleep, hug someone (gf preferred but if you have your mom, pa, or brother, hug them), meditate, read relaxing things, asmr, meditation, warm showers OR you may just need some time off, do nothing for sometime (less study for like a week etc., you're only human) 🙂

[tidal marsh]

Apparently L-theanine is good for stress relief

which you can get from green tea or supplements

[dusky edge]

@light plover pretty sure these crash discord

[sage bluff]

I wonder how do people get sleepy at 8pm or 9pm? I barely feel sleepy at 12

[light plover]

Should be taken care of, thank you

[dusky edge]

they may wake up early

[sage bluff]

I wanna try sleeping at 8 and wake up at 4 but i usually messed up my sleep schedule and sleep at 12 or 1

but then i cant wake up at 4 cuhs i wouldn't have enough sleep

any ways to fix?

[dusky edge]

yep, one day just do your work early and sleep early

but usually waking up early takes drive

you need somehting important

[hybrid ice]

Anyone knows where to get the output gap for Mexico GDP from 2008 to 2020?

[tidal marsh]

yes

from google

[hybrid ice]

I tried on google for more than two hours

and found nothing 😦

[reef falcon]

maybe search for it in spanish?

[hybrid ice]

también ya lo hice

[young umbra]

Anyone here is good at animations(film makers)?

I need help it's urgent

I would pay for it 🙂

Dm me

[reef falcon]

probably ask in #art-help , I'm taking animation courses right now and I have the basics down well but my hands are full.

[unique garden]

anyone know what NPV (Net present value) criterion means? I think it's just the accept or reject rule but im not sure and the book doesn't mention it anywhere.

[hybrid ice]

Yes, you accept any project with NPV > than 0

and reject any project with NPV < than or equal to 0

It also means "how much rich you became today" if you enter that project

[unique garden]

@hybrid ice That's what I was thinkin. Thank you!

[lucid drift]

Found your mexico gdp?

if not here it is.

https://tradingeconomics.com/mexico/gdp

btw this is a great source for different economic indicators, check it out (I don't have any affiliation with them)

[hybrid ice]

Thank you very much. I appreciate the help but I'm looking for output gap, it means (log) current gdp - potential gdp

the real problem is the potential gdp

[balmy steppe]

Good point, noted :D

[verbal magnet]

Sorry I just noticed these emojis lol

[balmy steppe]

LOL THANKS FOR THIS I JUST PEAKED AT IT AND-

adladljdadaf

This helps and I just read a few of the writing tips haha

[floral zephyr]

how 2 become financially independent by 18

[reef falcon]

chinese sweatshops 101:

[floral zephyr]

unfortunately not subjected to child labor

any other tipz?

[reef falcon]

if you're serious, then probably start a habit of saving up and not spending unnecessarily, as in eating out, buying things that are cute/cool/neat just cuz you find em as such, and only paying/buying for your pure necessities such as food, water, gas, car payments/gas, electricity, rent. you can start out by interning or/and at a part time job at a fast food place, and hopefully the internship will turn into something much better. then you have to find a place that doesn't rip you off (better location/densely populater = more expensive generally)

[lucid drift]

learn a skill that pays well

[floral zephyr]

ya i basically save all the money that i can

[floral zephyr]

like wat

well unfortunately i kinda want to be an artist which is the best way to be poor

[limpid silo]

Bro what happened to general chat

Did it get deleted

[floral zephyr]

#general-chat

[limpid silo]

Wow

[floral zephyr]

lol is trumb being censored

p*

[reef falcon]

true but also not true. art is literally everywhere and not in a philosophical sense. art was the very first language and a univesal language. you use it in design, housing (architect), logos, advertisements, etc etc. source: me artist UwU

[floral zephyr]

oh my i guess you;re right

uwu

ok like i guess if im not trying to be the next van gogh

art is in everything ya ya

[balmy coral]

it depends but Yeah art supplies will run your bank account 😭 but that's why buying good quality products that will last long will do you well money wise long-term!

[floral zephyr]

wait what typa artist are you:/

[reef falcon]

I'm stupid af and I can't decide 😂

[floral zephyr]

oh dear the art supplies

i spent way too much on copics and barely draw these days

[balmy coral]

i think frog artist can be one of your type of artists 🐸

[balmy coral]

I am so glad i never fell into the copics hole but i did fall into the zebra mildliner trend

[reef falcon]

fine art but Illustration concentration but I'm workign on an animation certificate (1 class off from lvl 2 certif but it wasn't offered this semseter 😦 ), going into 3d modeling to render some characters and I already know how to sculpt cuz I've been doing it consistently since I was 9

[floral zephyr]

gotta find a way to make money with some mediocre art < well that's not the right attitude is it

[floral zephyr]

woah since u were 9

ive thought of doing animation

it seems real fun ngl ive never animated tho

[reef falcon]

definately have a strong fundamental, even if you make simple things they turn out really well and can sell for a lot (mastery basically)

[floral zephyr]

i feel like i just wanna be good at too many things how am i gonna rly master em all

[floral zephyr]

😔 regrets man

[reef falcon]

whuchu wanna be good at?

[floral zephyr]

i should probably sell mine and do digital art

[reef falcon]

yo you wanna buy my copics off of me? I only used them for 1 class and I have a ton that were gifted to me

I sell for 50pc chicken mcnuggets and 10 oreo mcflurries

[balmy coral]

its up to you!! if you are interested in traditional art def keep them for a bit longer

[floral zephyr]

i wanna be good at pianooo, art, martial arts, singing, writing, uhhhh IDK academics as well like STEM (no way bro)

[floral zephyr]

yeee i do like digital tho ive made a few questionable works i suppose

[balmy coral]

nah man that too expensive 😔 artists trying to scam other artists out of drawing.. 💔 should be only one chicken mcnugget smh

[sage bluff]

btw, is any of u happened to be a game addict? cuhs I am one and I can't seem to start studying

[reef falcon]

it's being argued that art should be included in stem since it's the basis of language and therefore culture and civilizations (so STEAM basically). you can be good at all of those things! just hop around from having one as your hobby to another, don't try to do all those things in one day unless you're ok and not stressed out by it. most of the time you pick one thing to master and the others to be average/above average for the others

[floral zephyr]

yeahhhh i feel like i gotta UM CHOOSE ONE

[reef falcon]

chicken nugget inflation smh 😔

[floral zephyr]

i used to be so addicted to games

bt i just forced myself to leave the community, i basically stopped playing w my online friends

and now when i game its just not as fun anymore

[balmy coral]

i used to be! but i've learned how to prioritize schoolwork on the weekdays and allow myself time on the weekends to relax along with getting assignments done over the weekend

[floral zephyr]

ugh ya thats true a lot of the workforce is stem?? right? well i feel like im not naturally good at stem i have to work a lot harder if that makes sene

snes

sense

i feel like that's a good thing though, i mean unless u want a gaming career

[young umbra]

Hryy

[balmy coral]

take it one step at a time. it's very little to just think about all the things you want to do but it's very big to start a hobby. if you have access to that hobby, i say to definitely start it!!

[young umbra]

Hey don't talk here

[floral zephyr]

gaming is fun and all but i "wasted" way too much time playing goddamn minecraft and shit

[young umbra]

You guys can talk in dms@floral zephyr @balmy coral

[floral zephyr]

idk who jimmy is ngl

[young umbra]

Please don't flood this out

[reef falcon]

I used to be but the games are toxic so it's easy to stop playing, playing with friends on the other hand though 🥺 very hard to say no to

you mean james??? 💀

[balmy coral]

sorry!! i believe we originally were on topic though so we can jump back to that ☺️

[young umbra]

@reef falcon I messaged you in your dm check them

[balmy coral]

i think that's a question to ask for when #838059508957315112 opens up or during his live streams

[young umbra]

😊

[balmy coral]

i am genuinely curious now too now that you ask that

[floral zephyr]

whoops didnt realize i was flooding chat

[sage bluff]

i can't focus on studying... like even if i put my phone and stuffs away, I still think about when i will get my phone back

[floral zephyr]

it takes practice

just challenge yourself to do longer study sessions each time

work your way up

[sage bluff]

sounds like Atomic Habits book

1% better everytime

[floral zephyr]

idk ive never read it

but ye that can apply to a lot of things

have u deleted social media maybet thatd help

just a break

if u got nothin to do on ur phone i mean why would you want it back

[sage bluff]

I've tried but only last 2-3 days

social media became a part of my life and idk how to change it

I'm not sure if i should quit gaming first or social media first

[reef falcon]

social media, definately

[floral zephyr]

what social media do u use

[sage bluff]

aight imma start off by deleting social media AGAIN

Fb and ig

tiktok too

[floral zephyr]

cuz for me it wasnt to o hard im that kid who never posts and just scrolls mindlessly

tiktok is WAy too addicting

it kills me

so bye bye

[reef falcon]

yea, social medias are DESIGNED to make you keep on scrolling, that's literally how they make money. games are aight - they take up time but they're not as bad? like you could play a one and done

[floral zephyr]

or u could play one andddd then another game aand vicious cycle

and when u dont play u experience withdrawal (well that was me ) 🤣

[reef falcon]

you could but you would knowingly make that decision to re-queue or hit multiple buttons to play again, with social media you mindlessly scroll down and down and down

[floral zephyr]

discord is pretty addicting too ngl but at least there are cool people 😎

[reef falcon]

too tru

[sage bluff]

I wanna change myself 360 degree

[floral zephyr]

yepp

[sage bluff]

from a gaming addict to a hardworking dude

[floral zephyr]

also i need this server

[silver umbra]

[floral zephyr]

hi catto

[silver umbra]

Yo

[floral zephyr]

my journey from a couch potato to a couch tomato

[sage bluff]

lmao

[floral zephyr]

i love cats

[sage bluff]

btw I don't see any breakfast or lunch break during James' stream

[floral zephyr]

anywatys its so hard to get myself to sleep -_-

ive seen him eat baby tomatoes

[reef falcon]

sometimes he does take a longer break where it does cut into his study time, but he eats while he studies. he usually eats/snacks during the breaks

[floral zephyr]

but i dont usually watch the whole stream so idk

[sage bluff]

ahh I see I see

anw I'm gonna need a lot of helps

[reef falcon]

we'll be here 👍

[steady reef]

Your phone should have something to block social media access

[sage bluff]

i wanna build a study habit and a reading habit. Should i start one after another or should i start both at the same time?

[floral zephyr]

i did the screentime limit thing but i kept bypassing it 🤣

so i just deleted my 4 instagram accounts

[steady reef]

Yeah I can understand

[floral zephyr]

now i only have 1 in which i follow 3 people and just post stupid selfies periodically

[silver umbra]

It's easy to delete social media , when you have noone to talk to :)

[sage bluff]

come to thinking of it, I barely see outstanding students in my class post on social medias 🤔

[floral zephyr]

tru tru its easy to delete when you've never posted publicly therefore no one would care about ur disappearance

[high salmon]

if you wanna sooth into it, start one and then add the other gradually

[sage bluff]

that's deep

[reef falcon]

you can do both - read during your study time. start small and slow with 25m study sessions and 5 minute breaks

[steady reef]

I deleted it just because I used to hate everyone

[floral zephyr]

i see pretty good students in my class post and i wonder how they have a life 0-0

[floral zephyr]

i hated seeing ppl who have lives

cri

[silver umbra]

I used to chat with someone on insta (discord frnd ), but they got bf/gf , so I was treated like ghost lmao , and so I deleted , and I only used to see some memes , but more than positivity I used to see negativity ;-;

[silver umbra]

Lmao , my class topper does not even use whatsapp frequently

[reef falcon]

I deleted social media because it was too negative and had too much false information, too toxic (IG,FB, twitter) or too narcissistic (Instagram). Massive waste of time. youtube and discord got me draining all my time tho

[high salmon]

that is a stoodier right there

[floral zephyr]

oh god how id be more productive without sdiscord

[sage bluff]

I think i might have started a new bad habit tho... YouTube binge watching...

[high salmon]

i deleted social media to start living for myself

[silver umbra]

I changed my youtube usage , I now only use it for music

[floral zephyr]

bro this world is too distracting

idk what 2 do

[high salmon]

depends on if your watching helpful videos or just wasting your time

[silver umbra]

Now I don't have anything to do on phone if I delete discord , so I guess , I study so I don't get bored

[floral zephyr]

i made this new disc acc to not be distracted but i ended up here

well sometimes i study in vc but like 0.0 idk

[sage bluff]

I wanna see a day in life of James 🤔

[high salmon]

peace guys, gotta get ready for xtra class and study sessions 🥲

[silver umbra]

Cya, gL

[steady reef]

You can see 12h of his days

[reef falcon]

get past that and you instantly start winning 👌 🔥 💯

[floral zephyr]

omg i dont wanna delete discord 😭

[sage bluff]

we only miss 4 hours of his day xD

[reef falcon]

you don't have to delete discord, but set it so windows doesn't automatically open it when you start up your computer, and that when you press "X" that it closes for good if you can't resist it even with Do Not Distrub

[floral zephyr]

ill try m best x_x

god the people in the AP chem chat discord are way too fun

[silver umbra]

What is AP?

[floral zephyr]

oh in america its advanced placement tests

[vague terrace]

for highschool students

[floral zephyr]

but they keep joking about some fake "shaboo's law"

ye

and freaking everyone out

[young umbra]

I'm doing it by myself so that last part doesn't count

[mild pendant]

maybe put a comma and not full stop after baeful note

[solemn bolt]

Are you gonna report this?

[mild pendant]

[mild pendant]

I don't know if I am nit picking

[young umbra]

oooh ok

no no I am very thankful for ur help!!

[mild pendant]

significant in the development of the plot

[sharp wolf]

Good luck to everybody for their tests and lessons today, you’re going to do great!

[mild pendant]

[dry oxide]

How to get out from burnout

Anyone pls

[reef falcon]

take a break and do what you like for a bit

[dry oxide]

I tried it

[dry oxide]

But not willing to go back for studies

[reef falcon]

then take a break for longer, clear your mind more

[dry oxide]

U mean proper break

No stress for studies

@reef falcon

[reef falcon]

yes. like video games, cooking, going out, etc. Sorry, I should've made that obvious

[dry oxide]

I do things what i like but stress of studies

I think i am making sense

[reef falcon]

you may have no choice but to finish your studies so you're not stressed about them anymore. try not thinking of the deadline as hard it may be and just try to study just to gain information 👍 see it as a beneficial thing rather than a chore

[dry oxide]

hmmm

ok

thx for ur help

Hey guys, I was wondering what is your typing speed and do you have any tips for improving my typing skills.

[reef falcon]

my best is 130 but because of my keyboard my average is around 100. definately learn touch typing and maybe even try Colemak if you're a serious typist. I also recommend a mechanical keyboard with brown or blue switches, otherwise it's really easy to accidentally hit a key and not even know you did. Keeping a typing routine up is also nice, whether it's in chat rooms, typeracer, or any typing game (games that you need to type to shoot or do an action, I personally really like typing of the dead).

For learning touch typing: https://www.typingclub.com/
For improving touch typing common mistakes: https://www.keybr.com/

posture is also important: https://youtu.be/sw_wIKdJoNI?t=327

[young umbra]

Thank you so much, your tips are very helpful

[young umbra]

Some great info! I'd like to add that I recommend always physically trying out a keyboard. I had this amazing mechanical keyboard that in theory should be perfect... but the keys were small and I have much thicker than average hands, so it was terrible for me. I wasted about 80 bucks

Anyone has tips about how to read faster?

[eager oasis]

https://vips.lecturaagil.com/agilector-1073/

[shy epoch]

If its on paper use a tool (like a pen or your finger) and trace the sentences with it, then your eyes will go as fast as your tool

[eager oasis]

paste the text and select how many words you want to read and the speed at which you want it

[young umbra]

Thanks guys! Both are big helps

And I usually read on Kindle or my Chromebook, but I can trace on there.

[reef falcon]

this sounds dumb but playing rhythm games have helped me read faster because you have quicker reaction and brain processing times. It takes a while though and it's probably not the best way to go about reading faster?

[eager oasis]

I think it is practice, over time you gain fluency and speed. You stop placing your finger to read, you don't move your head while you follow the sentence and in the end you only read by moving your eyes quickly. At least I don't know any method that I can tell you

[hybrid ice]

Perhaps there should be a #finance and economics help section

[crisp heart]

I have a question. Does playing videogames affects our brain? After studying can we play ?

[reef falcon]

It definitely affects our brain. There's been many numerous studies done due to the dumb "video games make you violent" stereotype. I think there was one where they made some surgeons play video games and the result was they became quicker and more accurate.

[crisp heart]

Thanks you for your response

[young umbra]

hello, someone knows how to use excel?

[untold bough]

hi

tbh, i still dont know how to study. like i forgot the way i study because of this pandemic ||shit|| can anybody give me a clue?

[foggy vector]

what u mean

[untold bough]

i want to study, but i dont know like how

[foggy vector]

u want study time schedule

[untold bough]

i think i missing my drive too

i have a dream of entering public college, which needs a certain ammount of score. but i dont feel like doing anything. i feel like james when he is in his dark times

i used to study either by listening some teacher lecturing, or my friends explaining the lessons, but now, since im apart from them, i dont feel like i enjoy studying, and might aswell just scroll the entire timeline, or playing games

i got distracted too easily

its feels like chicks missing their hen

[potent bane]

i feel you

[lost knoll]

I feel the same way sometimes buddy...
One way to get out is to take a break from it all for a week or two, like absolutely don't do any of it. And then come back to it.

Not sure if it'll work for you, but it did for me

[untold bough]

i didnt do any of it i think

it just... my school gives excessive tasks

[untold bough]

i cannot take a break for a week, cause it will drain my scores, which is important

and in 3weeks from now, there will be final test

[lost knoll]

Then pull through with this and then take a break

[untold bough]

luckily, eid al-fitr holiday is coming in close

i want to push it

i dont think i can chase 1 semester in 3 weeks

[high salmon]

try active recall where you try to repeat the information without looking at it

there are also many teachers in youtube, so if you might need to listen to someone explain, you might be able to find yt with the topic @untold bough

okay, thanks for the reply man

[finite stirrup]

Hello everyone! I would like to know if there is anyone learning a foreign language on their own? I've been trying to learn German for such a long time already, but the methods I'm using are barely productive. I'll be grateful for any advices and tips 👀

[cyan niche]

Ello everyone! Just wanna ask help on what I could do for an incoming scholarship exam in my university? It mostly contains problem-solving type of answering on Chemistry, Physics, and Math

I'm a bit confused how I can review, what to review and test myself, incoming freshmen by the way
Thanks! 🧔

[untold bough]

english is a foreign language for me. honestly, for the first steps, i learned it with the help of teacher, so you might want to restart from the basics. try to memorize 100 most used words in Germany. and try to pronounce them daily. Then, start watching some Germany show that u have interest in. Since i have much thing in English language, i learned English as i enjoyed the content im watching. make sure u have the subtitles on. if ure still stuck there, try duolingo i guess. and found some kind of community that also learn Germany language like yours.

[finite stirrup]

Thank you, however my German lvl is b1-b2 and I'm struggling to achieve more fluency xD!

[untold bough]

i think im a1 or b2 in english. wait, what's the grading anyways?

[high salmon]

Hi, I wanted to ask whether it is able to study medicine in uni if you have dropped chemistry, but do physics and bio?

[fervent yew]

Help, so I took a whole day off because i've been studying my ass off for the past week and now I really don't feel like studying even though I have to since i have a lot of tests next week. Any advice?

[young umbra]

When I'm in a situation like this, i plan my day to don't feel lost in all of my work.
For example i wake up at 7 am and start studying biology at 8 am
Then i stop after 1.5 h and i do a break.
Then i start studying for math at 10 am for an hour and do a break.
And i work with my plan to for example 2 pm and then i'm freee.
I study on camera in study room and i have forest on computer and phone ;D
So this is how i deal with my work, have a nice dayyyyy

[fervent yew]

ok thanks, have a nice day aswell!

[young umbra]

it depends on the university, I don't think the one that ur looking for will be the best of the best but there will be one for sure

[mint pike]

does anyone know mysql?

[urban delta]

It's a pretty good cheap keyboard but make sure you're comfortable with 60% layout.

[rugged heath]

Are different words used when saying "future" in German?

[fervent yew]

use the forest app

[grave zealot]

I think there is only one word for future: "Zukunft"

[young umbra]

There's different ways to saying it, but the actual word is just Zukunft

[rugged heath]

thanks

[young umbra]

Hello, is James live now??

Hello, I have a question, when you started studying, did you start studying at once studying 12 hours or was it gradual, if so, how many hours did you study the first time?

[floral zephyr]

how 2 make a successful business

[high salmon]

Gradual, like most things you gotta build stamina (study and concentration stamina in this sense). You can build stamina through pomodoro's of like 25 minutes with 5 minute breaks for 4 sets and at the end of the 4 take a longer 10 minute break, then gradually to 35minute 5minute break, then 45, then 50 then 60.

hey! I was thinking of joining the 12-hour studying schedule.. any idea about the timings??

[somber sierra]

There is a streaming schedule in welcome

[somber sierra]

James's weekend streams are patreon only, so unless you support him on there you won't see him stream today.
For the week streams tho, do keep in mind that he is still only a human and might not start exactly at the time that is stated

[young umbra]

yes, right! got it! thanks for the help: )

[young umbra]

If y'all have problems with concentrating I recommend ASMR it makes me not think of something else than my work 😄

[untold bough]

guys, how long of a podomoro session do u recommend for a beginner?

[young umbra]

25 - 5 or 45 - 10 depending on your concentration level

[untold bough]

thanks

[young aspen]

i was started on 50-15

[untold bough]

damn, that was long

the rest time too

[young aspen]

It's all on you bro, find your best

[glass turtle]

I'm very bad at learning new words in other languages. Any tips on how you guys learn them?

[untold bough]

wait is 3 session of 40-8 okay?

[young aspen]

Bro, if you want only 3 sessions, go like 25-5 and do 6 sessions

Or 25-8

[young aspen]

But yes Its ok

[untold bough]

i actually just done it

but, thanks

[young aspen]

Good! Keep doing

[grave zealot]

Yes should be enough, but your high school diploma won't be enough to prove it unfortunately. Most universities require a English certificate. So you may look into either TOEFL , IELTS or Cambridge certificates.

[untold bough]

okay, i havent check any on my list, so might as well continue 3 or 2 more sessions

[untold bough]

i see...

back to work i go

so the book name is 12 week year

[reef falcon]

yep

[blissful lodge]

ok

[winter prairie]

personally i think it's not a matter of motivation simply, it's about discipline too

this is just me but whenever i hit a dead end i start back from the basics and make my way up from there. it will be long but worth

[acoustic nexus]

first of all make a list of things that are hard for you, then start from basics, because for example you can’t do advanced chemistry like steichiometry with no knowledge about atoms, don’t rush, take enough time to understand a certain topic on a level that satisfies you, then move on to other things on your list

[near idol]

regarding what field

[strange folio]

Hi to you all. How does James study 12h a day with classes? Is the time he spends taking them already in those 12h?

[green wave]

how do u guys stay productive over the weekend?

i just wanna laze around esp on sundays

[light lagoon]

Waking up early (roughly 7:30am local time) and developing a morning routine.

[clever owl]

i eat good/healthy food for breakfast and try to get in the zone workwise

kinda just distancing myself from distractions

[misty ember]

In Microsoft word if we type “gl” then use space bar, it will automatically turn into “gia lai”. It is auto text, auto spelling and grammar, auto correct or auto format?
Sr for my bad English ;;^;;

[strange folio]

Someone knows?

[magic ether]

Quick question, those of y’all who do 10-12 hours study per day? Does it get easier with time to focus for that long?

[alpine cloak]

slowly...I was able to do 14-16 hours a day from 6 am to 10pm from last march to this march but after a year my productivity's declined

i feel so burnt out

i need a week vacation but I don't even have time for that

[magic ether]

Oh damn

That’s awful take a day or two rest perhap? I know I don’t do myself but I know mediation helps dealing with burnt out

i feel like such a bum cuz I legit spend 3 hours per day on YouTube now and I try to delete it every time but I keep getting back to it

[alpine cloak]

ive been trying meditation - theres just a lot of constant pressure and I need to get back on my grind for this last month

summer internships are coming up soon

[magic ether]

Oh same for me

[alpine cloak]

best of luck

[young umbra]

HEY, i just discovered this yesterday but thought it might help. There's this website called coursera, where you basically get 6 week programs to learn any field, all of them from top professors from colleges like duke, harvard, stanford and yale and from companies like google and IBM. All of it is free. You just need to pay for a certificate. Anyways check it out, its amazing

[warm kraken]

ненавижу математику

[untold cypress]

-p lofi beats

[obtuse zephyr]

[obtuse zephyr]

Bruv trust me coursera is utter trash

They just teach for the sake of completing

[young umbra]

woah really?

what course did you do

[strange folio]

May I stop asking this? D:

[obtuse zephyr]

Yeah fam.... I did molecular spectroscopy, Arduino (the worst course imo), c

[young umbra]

as far as i know, he is not taking classes ig. But i'm not sure, so probably independent study

[young umbra]

oh

damn

[obtuse zephyr]

Yeah

[strange folio]

but when does he take holidays or vacation? He does this 365 days a year? I think that's not really possible..

[young umbra]

It's covid lmao. Where do you expect him to go? But from what he said, he doesn't study all day. He hangs out with his friend, Ofc he cares for his pet, works out etc etc. And saturday sundays, he doesnt stream on yt

he just does a patron stream

[sly snow]

Most people are taking their classes online so I'm assuming he does the same

[stable shoal]

when will he come back?

[strange folio]

he does stream on patreon. Also, is US in quarentine?

that's a bit too simply broken down... I mean, doesn't he go out to buy groceries? Doesn't he make him lunch/dinner? (I mean, I waste like a whole hour doing lunch, eating and doing the dishes)

[young umbra]

I’m not sure if this is the place to ask, but I was wondering about study technique. I think I saw James work with Anki, and it seemed like he was constantly taking notes. I do use anki, but I’m always just thinking of the answer and then on to the next card. Am I missing out on some better way of using it? I do want to work hard, but also smart if I can 🙂

[tulip plaza]

we need a motivation channel

[young umbra]

I think so. I mean the govt would be too dumb to not have quarantine rn considering their situation

[tough charm]

I got a question

I have mocks coming up - is it better to focus on one subject a day or have do two different subjects every day?

Will it be better to focus on one subject a day or one or two a day ??

[vague sparrow]

depends on which subject you're more confident with and what your timetable looks like

i think you should still go through both, but more or less is entirely dependent on your understanding of the test material etc

[tough charm]

It's just stressful because on one day i have three subjects

[vague sparrow]

felt :// my school used to do that. you got this!

[fallow nimbus]

guys how to we get these roles

like undergraduate

[silver umbra]

#roles

[fallow nimbus]

thanks dude

[quiet garden]

does anyone in this server have an 180iq+

[weak knot]

Fooool

[woeful ore]

You can actually start both if you are able to understand them easily otherwise start with the difficult one:)

[mild pendant]

I've but with a negative sign in front

[bold kestrel]

I feel kind of lost how I should study, I've been trying to implement mind maps but it feels forced. I tried linear but i just struggle with it. I'm trying to work on cybersecurity certifications but end up struggling.

Would anyone have any advice

[young umbra]

@bold kestrel What do you need to study for? A written exam?

[bold kestrel]

Security+ which is a theoretical cyber security exam

[young umbra]

So you have to dive into books?

[bold kestrel]

Yep

Textbook based

[young umbra]

What helps me is to first of all use the pomodoro technique and second to first go through all the notes from my classes

That way you know what is important in the teacher's eyes. I focus on that first

[modest dirge]

hey guys! just a quick reminder that cheating isnt allowed on this server. this means asking someone to do your homework for you and posting resources that allow people to cheat are not allowed. you can still ask for help and give help but cheating is not allowed. thank you!

[young umbra]

Do your subjects have manuals? Where they state the goals for the subject?

We have learning. goals for each subject, which is in the form of either a question or a sentence stating what you should be able to do in each chapter/class

Answering those is also a good rule of thumb

[quiet garden]

nice

[bold kestrel]

@young umbra they do, I have to learn from textbooks no teachers but yeah I’ll do that

[forest plinth]

i have enough iq to realize its bullshit

[young umbra]

Mine is 131

[reef falcon]

At least 2 for me

[mighty garden]

Does somebody knows alot about ampls here??

ampl*

[deft carbon]

No unfortunately, sorry

[cobalt jolt]

hey idk if I'm allowed to ask for help here but i was just asking for advice:
my friend who've i known for over 5 years just kind of drifted from me and doesn't seem to care abt me any more. Its not like he ignores me if i text him, but i always have to reach out to him first and he doesn't talk to me even in person unless i ask him a direct question in his face. I recently had my other friend discreetly ask him what he thinks of us and just said "yeah we r close." He reaches out to my other friends a lot but just seems to forget abt me. what should I do? When ever we hang out he just doesn't talk to me and goes on tiktok. he also got really close with my other close friend, and ngl it lowkey annoys me how he just randomly texts them. It stresses me out a lot and i care a lot about him as a friend but it doesn't seem to work the other way. I used to be really comfortable around him by myself, but not anymore.

[frosty flower]

2 if I'm being optimistic

[cobalt jolt]

sorry if im being too much i dont know where else to ask

I keep having breakdowns bc of it

[inner cypress]

Sometimes friends drift away, and i know it sucks... trust me. But it also wouldnt hurt to just talk to him and maybe plan some more things out for you and him to do, find some new topics that your both interested in. I dont know for sure how old you are, but from my expirience if you ever feel like some one close is drifting away.... catch them

[solemn laurel]

imo you should be straight up w them about it, the best way to go about it would be starting with "i feel like" maybe "i feel like you ignore me when we hang out"

[inner rain]

Your friend wouldn't drift from you without a reason, seems like he clearly has a reason why he's doing it. Has he told you why this is happening?

[cobalt jolt]

Bruh tysm idk what's happening anymore it's not lie he's rude he just has a careless attitude to me

[inner rain]

I 2nd sanrio, being upfront will get you the answer you seek.

[cobalt jolt]

No he doesn't seem bothered

[cobalt jolt]

But idk how lol

[inner rain]

Well it definitely is an odd behavior why he would drift from you and not your other friends, sounds like something is going on and he's just not telling you

[solemn laurel]

if u say i feel like to a person its a good way to be honest w them without the conversation feeling like an intervention

[inner cypress]

hey look if you rlly like this guy and care abt him, then you needa be straight up with him and say that you want to be better than you are right now, no one should have to suffer from being neglected by someone you care about... thats just petty

[solemn laurel]

sorry if i sound pretentious lmao

[cobalt jolt]

But like how would I bring it up

[cobalt jolt]

No u don't tysm

Just dm him on DC?

[inner cypress]

let it just be u and him and just set the mood to serius and just talk to him

[cobalt jolt]

Like did I do something wrong

[inner rain]

IMO, no don't DM. Unless that is your only form of contact with him

[cobalt jolt]

We didn't have a fight

[cobalt jolt]

Then how sry

[inner cypress]

hey your fine your overthinking it

[inner rain]

Try calling, hell maybe a video call if that's cool. If you two live close, try meeting up and talking it out in person

[cobalt jolt]

But it'll just fell akward :(

[inner cypress]

but wouldnt you rather do this than have a friendship that is one sided?

[inner rain]

I know it will be awkward, but would you rather be silent and accept this happening going forward and further hurting yourself?

What do you want right now. Think for yourself

[cobalt jolt]

O ig

Tysm

[inner cypress]

any time

[cobalt jolt]

I'll tell u how it goes lol

[steel quarry]

aye bro, anyone doing accounting here ?

😭

[winter plume]

anyone here into coding ? im newbie i would like to ask few questions ^^

[safe spear]

@cobalt jolt this is the best advice imo. If you've watched The Office this was how Pam began a lifelong relationship with Jim. Jim and Pam were best friends and were on the verge of dating but when Jim started dating someone else, they drifted apart. Eventually Pam confronted Jim about this (kinda yelled at him XD) and they ended up together. Maybe you should give it a shot!

[cobalt jolt]

@inner cypress @safe spear @solemn laurel @inner rain yoooooooo i just talked to him and i think we are fine now but he knows im still gonna be angry for a while.
tysm for actually making me be straight up and write him a whole paragraph; i was seriously thinking of dropping him for a few months but ig im kepping another friend

[hexed pike]

Does anyone have a good choice for a homeschooling program/curriculum? I was in homeschool for 3 years and didn't get very much work done, and didn't learn very much at all, and I really want to find a better solution.

I'm attending my junior year.

hs

mb

hmm

Thanks for the suggestion, I'll look into it.

[spring imp]

I think a good way to use anki is as a tool to make things stick, but you can write things down to understand the concepts or as a way to supplement your flashcards. sometimes writing the answer or saying it outloud helps you commit things to your long term memory better, since youre focusing more of your senses on memorizing.

[sterile flint]

Does anyone have a really good english? I’m struggling with a hasn’t/hadn’t sentence.

[reef falcon]

✋ edit: oh sorry, thought you had an example sentence for us. so Hasn't = HAS not (something you/someone still needs to do but did not yet) vs Hadn't = Had not (was supposed to do something in the past but did not).

Jimmy hadn't done his homework for the entire semester.
Kayla hasn't done homework or her laundry yet.

[young umbra]

I’m not good in English,but I guess that hadn’t is used for the past tense, hasn’t is used with the pronouns he/she/it in the present tense.

[sterile flint]

Thank you a lot!>

[young umbra]

Welcome! :3

[hushed grotto]

uhh if it helps

just try to think of it saying had not instead of hadn't

im like 30 minutes late but

swithcing any word that ends with n't always helps if you just switch the n't to not

[young umbra]

I need some advice y'all- So basically, in short simple words, i used to enjoy studying. But i dont anymore. And nothing seems to interest me. Like i used to love psychology, english etc etc but not anymore. My day's just seem to drift by with me hating every moment of what im doing. Any tips?

its like uk i either watch pointless youtube videos or i do some pointless studying its the same thing

[reef falcon]

try just writing down your thoughts and worries, that got a lotta negativity and stuff on my mind off of me and made me a lot more relaxed. sounds dumb but i can sleep a lot more easily cuz of it - used to have mild insomnia

[young umbra]

I see. Ive got mild insomnia too..I will try that lol thanx

[coarse thicket]

You absolutely need to take time off screen time, sit in a room for a day without interruption and find your drive mate
Ask yourself the right questions.. As to what they are only you can know

You need to value the work, value what you love and find value in what you do in order to feel it's beneficial to your existence

[young umbra]

yeah..ik but im taking this major exam next year and i HAVE to take it uk. Its either that or drop out(which is not really an option for me). And like ive condensed my brain to love the things i hate, that at this point i dont even know what i really love anymore?

does that make sense

that exam is gonna take like all of my time. Even if i want to do something, i wont be able to

[coarse thicket]

What is "something", is it of greater ordrr than what you will receive if you pridefully do your major exam ? That is what I mean by value. Why wouldnt you be able to do the things you enjoy on week ends and off days ?
If you feel studies are too time consuming, what about taking a year abroad or a break ?

@young umbra

[young umbra]

Something as in things that i love uk. Music, film etc etc. And that's the issue. If i take a year's break, universities here look down upon it, and you'll have a lesser chance compared to someone who got the same grades like you but didnt take a break.

If you've watched james's last video you'll find he mentions that some of his viewers have it hard upon themselves cuz they only have one chance in life

same situation for me

https://youtu.be/5XA67ur9wm8?t=770

[coarse thicket]

Yeah Ive watched it
All you can do is reflect then, engage your prefrontal cortex to try and find solace in the future my friend from another country

I wish you all the best in your trials, I hope you find what you need to in order to strive to work

[young umbra]

Thanks! :)

[young umbra]

Does anybody have any tips on studying math? im trying to get more serious with my studies (im trying to relearn precalc) but i feel like im wasting my time

[tropic ivy]

its difficult to learn without a guide so i recommend at least having a couple of textbooks or regular books about precalc

How I can make 2 computers exchange data/connect if they arent using wifi but they can be really close range?

[inner cypress]

some relationship stuff here...
we go to different schools, i give her everything i can offer, i meet up with her 3 times, we said that wed live together, we love eachother, and for some reason, she still talks about other guys sexually and her ex's that she feels bad for, i think i might have lost her.

i dont know what to do

[lime sleet]

well, idk
depends on if she's serious about talking about other guys or if its just jokes in poor taste

[inner cypress]

unfortunatly, i think its both

[inner cypress]

use flash drives if you want to transfer anything without the use of wifi

[pulsar flower]

I don’t want to seem extremely dumb. but can you guys give me some tips on how to make a really impressive dialogue? I really want to do my best for english class help would be appreciated please and thank you 😊🥲

[somber sierra]

I am in no way an expert on this but something to keep in mind is to try and not be repetitive, try to use synonyms for different words, but don't make it unnecessarily complicated

@pulsar flower

[pulsar flower]

I understand thanks so much 😌

@somber sierra

[somber sierra]

I'm sorry I can't offer you more advice, I don't write a lot of dialogue.
I do think that it is also good to think about the feelings you want to convey, and using he right words to convey them. Certain words will call up certain feelings and you have to be sure that those are the correct feelings. If you want someone to be seen as soft, don't use harsh language, etc.

[cunning valley]

Is anyone here from norway and is in college atm? I got a few questions about the schools there

[drifting lily]

I am in the same boat. Khan Academy is going to be my best friend this summer. If any other tips are available lmk

[young umbra]

via dm or by @ s?

[drifting lily]

DM

[loud sierra]

I am :)

[prime musk]

hey guys does anyone need anything proofreading i have some free time and i can check through some stuff

[cunning valley]

Ahh hi hi hi, so in nordic colleges, are there alot of classes in english? If so, do you see alot of American students there?

Idk what college is called in norway cause theres secondary school and all that

Isnt it called Videregående skole?@loud sierra

[vague wing]

Hey can anyone help me as I am a online student I get distracted easily from my recorded lectures

Y'all got any advice

[young umbra]

i usually just leave my phone in another room or switch it off and ask my mom to hide it :)

challenge yourself

to sit and pay attention

[vague wing]

I have easy access to youtube on my tablet so I get distracted

I usually study on my ipad

[young umbra]

oh
try to challenge yourself , just do it for 21 days straight..when youre studying just study and when your taking a break watch yt :)
try pomodoro

pomodoro will help 👍

[magic ether]

same here i keep checking youtube getting distracted, whenever i delete youtube, i install it back few days later ( on my phone only tho) on laptop i don't do much youtube

[loud sierra]

College is called University/universitet, Videregående skole is High school. I think it depends on the courses if they're in english or not, but at least in my field (chemistry) most of them are in english, maths, some statistics and physics, as well as the first year were in norwegian. Considering Covid has been a thing for most of my study period, I haven't seen any americans. But there are/have been a considerable amount of exchange students in general.

[young umbra]

relatable
i have an ipad too , i set screentime for youtube to 1 hour and asked my sister to select a pw
it helped :)

[magic ether]

oh true you right

[vague wing]

Good idea

[magic ether]

lemme give my bro a password lol

i cannot keep password for myself cuz i just unlock it when the time run out

[cunning valley]

Ah gotcha Mange takk!  <33 (I'm so sorry if that's wrong💀💀)

[loud sierra]

Hahah no you're good, its correct :)

someone can help with #languages-help

Philosophy:
Umm idk if y’all would be able to answer this question, bc it’s related to plato book(republic)(you should have a minimum knowledge to be able to help me T^T):

-The traditional definition of justice is to give each his due. When socrat was discussing with thrasymachus about justice, did he give him his due?
Why?or why not?

-If you can’t answer the question up then ill ask another
Whats the real definition of justice?

[amber jungle]

wtf, dude break up with her easy.

have a talk w her about it, but if you catch her doin shit like that again straight up dip.

as a man you gotta have more self respect to know that a women shouldn't ever treat you like that, and you should never treat a women like that yourself.

[dusk locust]

not really an appropriate place to ask about this, that being said she is either trying to manipulate you or oblivious to how that would make you feel all possible interpretations of her actions speak to a lack of care and focus on you her partner so I would have a serious discussion about it and in honesty I would probably break up with her, if you are considering living together and spending your lives together you need to have someone who will be on your team, who will be your partner, someone who will love and support you (thats different than just agreeing with you) mentioning other guys and talking about an ex suggest that she isn't fully on your team or that she lacks the maturity to address concerns appropriately with you. Best of luck mate!

[drifting lily]

I did the same exact thing with my cousin but was later called extreme haha

[hybrid ice]

where do you ask for help in finance, here or in the math section?

[dark kiln]

general rule of thumb would be to put the books down if nothing is sticking in ur head anymore

[dark kiln]

im not sure of ur timezone, but if its late night i’d sleep or if it is still day then take a break. not every student sees much success cramming overnight

[young umbra]

lmao

my sister doesnt tell me the pw sometimes even when its an emergency

she likes to watch me suffer

[crude tartan]

Hey guys I need some Ideas on how your family (if you live with your family currently or anyone else) is helping you during the course of online learning?

[royal summit]

I live with my family

[opaque turtle]

It depends on your age. In high school, you probably dont need much help. But in middle school, parents can help with little questions. Or using PC and app.

[crude tartan]

oh

i mean like not academically but in other ways as well

so like other than school work and such

[opaque turtle]

Hmm...

Don’t know tbh

[crude tartan]

or maybe any ideas? its completely cool if you guys don't really have

im just asking incase anyone happens to have any

i thought of them like giving me tips and advice

[opaque turtle]

My mother often brings me meal like toast or something to drink.

[crude tartan]

ohh thats cool
